Deal ON!!! Arsenal £65 million target speaks out

The North London outfit Arsenal target and Lille star Nicolas Pepe has spoken out on the interest for him ahead of the coming summer transfer window.

The Gunners team were believed to be favourites ahead of Man United and Chelsea who are also interested in the star player for the coming season challenge.

However, the Unai Emery side are reported to have opened talks with the star player and his camp as they hope to finalize a deal before the start of the coming season.

Nicolas Pepe has, therefore, noted that there is no point talking about the transfer because the season had just ended, stressing that everything about his future would be known as soon as the transfer window is declared open.

However, Arsenal also have the Europa League finals to face which makes them rest the talks of transfer until after the Baku experience.

The Gunners team have been unable to secure qualification to the Champions League ahead of the coming season as they finished outside the top four but it is suggested that all hope is not lost as they could still achieve their dreams by winning the Europa League finals against their London rivals Chelsea later in the month.
